Well worth the price. I use the reverse option every time I trim my lawn. It’s right up there with a gas trimmer, but without the noise, heat, weight and maintenance.

Ive used Makita tools for several years now. The first impact driver was given to me by an older worker and that inoact was beat up bad, but it lasted me three years, never failing. I ended up upgrading to the brushless and have been extremely happy with it, my buddy who also uses a Makita impact dripped his into an aquarium, we got it and dried it and it still works. I got the weed trimmer and have been amazed at how quiet it is and how well it works.

Well constructed. Very powerful, especially at setting 3. 5Ah batteries last well over an hour. Comfortable strap. Love it.

No gas, no oil, no exhaust ! I Just grab my Makita batteries and go. The 2 batteries give it great power and run time.The best is no hassle starting just grab it and go. Love it

When my gas powered leaf blower’s engine froze, i saw the Makita. Excellent power. Not your typical battery operated tool. The 36v two battery system is light and moves a lot of air. I have most of the Makita family of tools and this is another great fit.

Works well and has lots of power. DOES NOT DRAIN THE BATTERY

Very handy and has great trigger control. I’m very happy with he purchase, after being hesitant to spent that kind of money. Expensive, but the quality is there and I’m very satisfied with the blower.

Whoa this thing blows. Probably the most powerful blower ever. It is also way quieter than any blower around. And whoa does it eat batteries. This blower on 6 (I have no idea why they used 6 as fastest, come on Makita, this thing deserves an 11) will blow stones around – pretty darn big ones. Leaves are child’s play. Wet compacted leaves, still super easy. The balance in great in hand. It isn’t too heavy. Noise level is fantastic. Probably still a good idea to wear ear protection.The one downside to this puppy – battery eating. I have three sets of two batteries. It is possible to use the blower continuously with two double chargers working. If you only have two sets or a single set, you’ll have to find something else to do while the batteries charge. I’m guessing this gets about 20-30 minutes of blow time. A lot of jobs can be blown in that time. But if you have a really big job, get three sets of batteries. Even though it eats batteries like no tomorrow, I love this thing. I can finally blow all the sand out of my garage. Get all those corners completely clean. And can use it to dry my car (it is a nearly ideal blower for car drying). Not to mention it does a great job on leaves.

Got this to replace old corded blower. Does the same work in half the time and weighs so much less. Not sure about large application use but imagine it would hold up. I also got to reach more areas with less hassle due to the battery vs corded. Finished blowing out my back yard within 10 minutes when it usually took 30

Easy to use and speed settings are very helpful in the variety of garden, lawn and hard surface use. Highly recommend gv

Just as powerful or more than any corded or gas blower. Much more convenient. Batteries last long enough for any homeowner and most landscapers.

Another great tool from Makita. I have never had a bad tool from Makita in over 30 years.

I looked and looked at cordless blowers, but many did not have enough power. I love this blower. Its works like a charm and I am so happy to no longer have to drag a corded blower around the yard. It is not as powerful as a corded blower but it does just fine. Big money but I feel it was money well spent

better than thele

Love it- Best quality trimmer.

Lightweight and effective for light to moderate residential use, this trimmer could be improved with a more user-friendly trimmer head and heavier trimmer line (0.95 vs. the 0.81” maximum).

I got this for my right hand man since he carries a lot of Makita tools and batteries. Great power for leaves and clearing snow off of trucks. I have more Milwaukee tools than I can count. Unfortunately this Makita blower outperformed my Milwaukee Fuel. I recommend 5.0Ah batteries.

Blower is more powerful than my previous gas blower!
